BMW Fanatic what can I get to keep the brake dust off my rims?
I also had a leak from my washer fluid pump and was getting ready to use the fix you used. Upon further inspection, I think that port on the side is designed to let out any fluid that gets past the seal from backing up into the motor. I'm fairly certain the internal seal will continue to leak and fill the inside of the motor with water.
Just wondering how your pump motor fared after sealing the leak.
Can u fix my bmw I ll pay money I have been watching your all videos
Thank you for taking the time to do this video so we could benefit from it; unfortunately, there will always be the ungrateful ones leaving bad and unnecessary comments. I just noticed washer fluid leaking at the same spot on my car; might as well be the same problem; thanks so much!
Seriously, I filled my washer fluid yesterday on my m3 and noticed the same leak. scary this vid shows up on my recommended. thanks!
YUREVN This isn't a common thing and just "happens" lol
Thanks for the video. I wonder why you decided to patch the leak instead of changing the pump. I found an aftermarket on amazon for $12 that is well reviewed.
I was so excited when I saw this video. I did mine but leak came back after about 2 months. After did more research, I found the replacement part from Amazon for only $11 (just search 'Windshield Washer Pump for BMW E90').Just ordered the new pump. I would not patch the leak if I knew the replacement part is so cheap....
Just fixed mine. Exact same location. Used a similar product and just filled the tank up. No leaks thus far. Thanks mate!
Great video - my 2013 M3 is having the same issue. Feel a little more confident in trying to fix this on my own now. Thanks - John
great vid! i swear your vids recently have been lining up with everything i need/have coming up! haha thanks again !
EL LL haha, that's always good
Those 162’s are my absolute favorite factory Rims. Had them on my old 335. I got excited seeing them again.
Yes, it's broken seal. The pump is design so the water drips out instead of going on the electrical side. It's a safety feature and the pump must be replaced!
thanks - will get to the leak on my 6 series wiper reservoir this weekend!
Thanks I found this video informative. I made the decision to replace the pump with the revised version.
Mine is leaking as well, time to get some JB waterweld. Thanks for the DIY
335i JB4+MHD E85 BEF FUEL IT STAGE 2
For those who want to fix this issue, I'd recommend removing the pump, drying it, clean it well and apply a liquid epoxy. Ensure the small cavity near the crack is blocked to prevent the epoxy from entering the pump. This will ensure the pump never leaks from this area again.
True the JB water weld works on wet surfaces, but not on wet surfaces which have a detergent based product wetting it.
Or, a new pump is only 10 bucks on Amazon.
Thanks for the video,mine is leaking also I’ve been driving with out winshield washer fluid for months now.Hopefully mine is cracked since it does leak real fast.Looks like a common problem for this car.
Great result!, glad u showed!
Brilliant video helped me a lot
Thanks for the tips. This tackles the problem for good. A new pump will leak again. Might be a o ring inside i glued the cavity. There is also another place it can leak from the feed into the tank. O ring there but that is above the sensor so it is the pump for me
Nice video! I'll have to keep this stuff in mind in case i ever run into a leak, cost effective fix!
Simply Car Things 👍🏻 - I have extra so I'll see if anything else pops up lol
BMW Fanatic I liked video and my pump is leaking. Mine is leaking where the pump goes in the reservoir. I looks difficult to get jb weld all around it. Any thoughts.
I would love to live there, nice garage and looks a nice neighbourhood 🇬🇧👍🏼
Your boy in the background at the beginning is hilarious! Good video either way my man 😉
Glad it worked out!
Same spot on mine too. Thanks for the vid!!!
Well done and thanks for sharing.
Well done video. Thanks!
Great tip man totally saved me a bunch of money but how's the jb weld holding up? Is it a permanent fix for the leak. My was in the same exact spot as yours
Excellent. Thanks!!
Would’ve tried melting the crack with a soldering iron before using jbweld. Otherwise gone with a cheap oem replacement.
I had the same issue applied the same product twice and still have the same issue. I ended up wasting about a week and also had to remove the reservoir twice. Your best bet if you have this issue is to spend about 20 bucks in parts for the pump and strainer to replace everything. Save yourself the headache.
These parts are built to last only an exact length of time. You’re right, replace the d*** pump motoer & strainer, save time== money in the long haul.
Instead of buying all that goop, FCPEuro had the VDO pumps BMW rebrands for $14. If you need a filter and grommet that's $6. So for $20 you get a lifetime warranty BRAND NEW pump and grommet...
I replaced it with brand new parts and it still leaks.
Thanks. I'll give it a go.
had the same issue, tried this method twice and it still leaked. ended up just buying an aftermarket pump off amazon for $12. no more leaks and the pump works just as good as oem.
Just as a safety measure, if I don't have jack stands handy I'll slide the wheel under the care just as a precaution. You really can't trust a jack. Great DIY.
cj snider I had a jack under the main front subframe support and also another backup - thanks!
I had to snip 45mins of video down to what you see - so lots of cutting out 😀
Yea NEVER trust jacks to hold a car up .
my sensor for my fluid level kept going off. i poured more in this morning and it leaked from the same area. guess its time to take the wheel well apart and jb weld it up . hopefully its from the same place yours is leaking from
You're awesome. You showed us how to do a proper DIY and save money and get no benefits from anyone.
So its your rubber o ring that the pump sits in that is the cuase of the leak?
Mine was a cracked pump
Thanks for the video, appreciate the info. But for those considering it vs swapping in a new pump - evaluate the possibility of having to go back in, tear out/clean up the JB Water Weld, and swapping out the pump anyway if the JB Weld doesn’t hold. I tried the JB Weld, looked fine no leak after 20 minutes and put everything back together. Saw a drip or two the next morning, then when I actually used the pump it started leaking heavily. For the afternoon, I was pretty concerned the JB Weld was permanent and would be super difficult to remove. I went in the next day and it came off without much difficulty - if you look at reviews on the product, they’re mixed. Just something to consider, since you’re doing 90% of the work already at this point, you may consider spending $30 on a new pump and swapping.
Good video. Hope it holds for the long haul.
Crankshaft Motors checked it today, still no leaks!
Is this the same for the E92? Is the location of these tanks/pumps the same? I'd like to know before I tear everything apart.
Mine is leaking now too. Thinking it's the reservoir, but I won't know until I open her up. Nice fix you have, but for $25 for a new, good pump, ordering a new pump makes more sense.
For safety sake never trust a car jack - always use a chassis stand! Great advert for JB Weld.
Gracias x este video yo necesito cambiar pompa del windshield yets
hi mate..how to checks washer fluids level on my e90 320d 2011? washer fluids didn't came out after i pull the stick..
Flex Seal! Nice DYI vid.
Daniel Day that would work too 😀
Helpfull 👍
Great thanks, indeed how long does it last now? Thanks for feedback in advance
Still no leaks - I check my car a lot
Saved me so much money...honestly thought I had a coolant leak and was about to take my car in because I couldn't figure out why it would be coming out where no line is. Thank you so much!
Hello does anyone know if it is possible to remove it with the wheel on?
Fantastic, I was able to fix my 328I. You saved me tons of $$$ . Only took about 20 minutes + set time.
You have spacers on the car ?
Great!
Gotta do this now haha
I had same issue, ended up replacing the pump bcz the washer fluid even went into the electrical plug.
Now I have another leak, I can’t figure out if that’s the washer fluid tank filler tube cracked and drips on the turbo or that’s the coolant pipe which comes out of the block between turbos...
That filler pipe for reservoir just perishes, very inferior technology there, WTF?BMW? It costs >$40 for the filler neck pipe, a gotcha for sure....
This is the first time I've seen an E90 with the same wheels as mine 👀
Good video but for that much trouble, replace everything! New pump is $18... reservoir with filler about 20 on eBay. Don't do it twice... jb weld is good where it's easy to get to in case the fix does not work (with my luck will be doing it twice). BMW has to make something so simple as a windshield washer pump hard to get to!
Anyone have the part number for the fender cover clips at 2:07 and 2:08? I want to ensure I have those before I kick the JB Weld. Thanks Fanatics!
Hi BMW Fanatic. Does the side marker light just "pop out"? Thank you.
Richard Henely Sure does! It's spring loaded, so slide it to the left or right depending on the side. Basically sliding it towards the rear of the car, then pull it out. You'll get the hang of it once you do so.
I wanna delete my headlight washers since i changed to a msport front bumper with no headlight washer holes
It is a good and detailed video for removal and installation, ty! Personally, I feel If the pump is leaking from that plastic housing on the pump itself, the seal in the pump is failing and doing this type of repair may not last because now the ww fluid will have nowhere to leak out and the fluid will now leak inside of the electrical pump and it will fail in time. ty
hi man my headlight washer doesn’t do anything the pump is there but it doesn’t do anything when i press the windscreen washer to spray my headlight one should too but nothing happens any ideas?
Dirty filter
Our cars have a grommet that gets clogged preventing washer fluid from flowing freely. Should have done that swap while you were in there. EZ fix, but next time.
MrDukeus yep
I have this same dang leak... We've got Flex Seal... gonna try the Flex Seal when I do my rotor and brake change.
Hey dude I'm back! How are ya? Was thinking of picking up a 2008 550i next year, what's your opinion?
Joey McMahon Jr doing good! Those 550i's have to be checked out very well prior to owning. BMW isn't the greatest at making good V8's.
If all maintenance has been done and it checks out, then go for it!
BMW Fanatic I'm gonna get a PPI done on it, when I bought my 04 530i e60 the POS lied to me and I dropped over $6k in maintenance and repairs, she's good now though. I'm looking at a 2008-2010 550i if anything :3
Joey McMahon Jr yeah PPI for sure and check maintenance records
Mine was cracked at the very top, but now I know how to get to reservoir, too bad I found out after I was there lul
Brand new oem Pump is 10 bucks off FCP euro. You get a lifetime warranty and it probably will take you the same amount of time to do the replacement as it would the “repair”. Lets just do things right people.
What washer fluid do you use?
RainX for all seasons - it’s orange
my windshield washer isn't working at all, could that be the pump?
+GTI BUILD yep!
How much would a repair shop have cost you- parts and labor?
$200
I just notice my car has the very same leak. The labour cost will be more. How on earth to do a DIY?
did this fix hold up
Still holding up! Will be doing a video to replace the pump actually now
@@BMWFanatic I just replaced my pump because it crapped out. I think it was a trico brand I got from O’Reilly auto parts.
I'm watching this cause me and my mom are scared it keeps making weird sound cause of water fluid and my dad is a mechanic but he is in Indiana
I see there are so many people having issues with Windshield washer fluid motor issues. Shouldn't there be recall for this "ultimate driving machine" LOL ? ?
U skipped the most important part. How u pulled it down and forward? 3:22. Where are the tabs?
Old video, but I will be doing a new diy and changing out the washer sprayer
Oh, my sidemarker was caught by its wiring, making it impossible to pull out until I remove the sidemarker first.
empty the reservoir first before you put on JB weld, don’t refill the tank until the putty is cured(>1hr), otherwise it’ll leak again under pressure
In my experience, I take the pump out and dry it, maybe sand the area where is leaking, then paste the putty
also, remember to retrieve the insert pin that hold up the plastic clip if it drops
Are you in texas?
Yep, in Dallas until tomorrow
Good explanation but looks not an easy job for diy
wait... actually???
well technically the pump is fucked
anybody else hear a lawn mower in the back :P
kevin p Just for a little bit 😉🤣
LOL that pump is $8
I was thinking the same thing... why do all this work just to have it fail again? Such a cheap job to do properly. Makes me question this entire channel... also jackstands.
Not in my country 😆
Nothing wrong with fixing something and keeping it out of the landfill for as long as possible.
erm you could have just taken the pump out and then weld it, would have been a better job just saying Follow me on Insta @Kaos3717
first
Jeff Kempienski Yo Jeff 👍🏻
$5 bogus fix on a $15 part SMH
Old video, but what I had laying around. Still holding up after all these years
@@BMWFanatic cool. No hate just trolling. Luv your page :)
Booring, why did you feel it was necessary to say "actual" so many times. It is so distracting.
